Amish Mud Sale

It's that time of year....

What memories I have from my childhood years,

attending Amish Mud Sales with my daddy and grandpa....

My Great-Grandparents were very strict Mennonites,

to which my father was basically raised as, until his teen years....

My father spent a great deal of time with his Grandfather,

who according to my father, only spoke Pennsylvania Dutch,

the German Language spoken by the Amish....

Great-Grandpa could speak the English Language,

however, daddy said if you wanted an answer from him,

you spoke to him in PA Dutch....

That was how my father became very fluent in PA Dutch..

Great-Grandpa

So when we attended the many Amish Mud Sales,

my daddy fit right in and I had no flippin idea what

was being said...!

Of course my eyes were always on the homemade goodies

those Amish Ladies made to sell at the Sales,

and always a cup of hot chocolate, too..!!!

Daddy was always interested in purchasing mechanical tools,

his trade and hobby was restoration of Antique Automobiles...

At sales such as these, daddy was able to find some real

treasures in the tool department....

Personally, I found it a bit boring after my treat of choice

was eaten and the last drip of hot chocolate was tasted...

I still to this day do not find Mud Sales a "Must Do"...

I think that part I inherited from my Mother:))
